Description
This week our farming podcast talks about how we (the farmers) manage to get away on a vaction while entrusting the farm to capable hands. Who says farming needs to be all work and no play. There's a set of steps we undergo to ensure the farm is ready to be watched and we share a bunch of those.
We share our story about a farmers market we visited while on vacation in sunny Florida. It was interesting for us to deal with how the farmer becomes the consumer.
There's a new segment this week called "Remember When"... where we talk about how we start off little chicks to grow them into healthy birds.
Finally, our last segment this week is an "In the News" where we discuss how China, Russia and otehr countries have banned the import of a bunch of US raised meats because of the usage of a chemical called Ractopamine. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ractopamine
